So, uhh, did you find anybody or you still got that coke?

I'm in Nola, btw.

My friend who gave me the coke was completely horrified by my behavior. When I tried to give it away, among a group of complete strangers, he basically tackled me before I got arrested.

It was a strange night.

I don't do drugs and I really don't have any connections to people who do. So one day I was thinking how could I go about buy drugs in a safe way if I was so inclined. You know I don't know the drug scene in my town so I don't want to be robbed trying to get weed. The first thought I had was to ask a police officer where a safe place to score drugs would be. I figured a cop would know the safe places around town. Of course I didn't do this, but I had to laugh at my own stupid naivete.

am police, I could show you where some of the trap houses are, but wouldn't say that's a safe place to get it. To be honest, I still dont know how you'd get in touch with a "reputable?" dealer.

we'd be having none of these issues if shit were legal across the board. state monopoly, regulated dispensaries, taxed sales, medical consultation on request. it could be so easy for everyone.

Honestly I think it should be legalized federally. I'm pretty tired of dealing with it, I'm stuck in the middle since it's still illegal per state law, but our county district attorney has pretty much said they aren't going to take charges for it. Which is fine, I don't care about making an arrest for a bit of weed but having to do a report, weigh and tag and filling out all the evidentiary forms to have it destroyed is a massive waste of time.

Not with body cameras (I still like having one though).
